Paper label to reverse 'Eigentum des Grafen Anton und der Grafinnen Karoline und Adelheid Lanckoronski mit allem, was darim ist und darauf steht' ['Property of Count Anton and Countesses Karoline and Adelheid Lanckoronski']
France, Circa 1865.
These magnificent side cabinets with panelled doors of Japanese black and yellow lacquer, are by Charles Winckelsen, a pre-eminent cabinetmaker from the Napoléon III period who is famed for his high quality production. These magnificent cabinets rank amongst his most opulent creations, being made to the finest standard, with gilt-bronze mountings and displaying unusually large and rare Japanese export lacquered panels. Winckelsen's furniture was the preserve of the very wealthy and accordingly these cabinets have a most illustrious provenance.
The Lanckoronski family have played a leading role in Polish history and cultural life for at least seven centuries. Following the partition of Poland the Lanckoronski family kept close ties with the Viennese court. Count Karol Lanckoronski was born in Vienna but spent his childhood in Paris before returning to study at the university of Vienne where in 1870 he received his doctorate in law. From the mid-1880s Count Lanckoronski devoted himself to studying the humanities and arts. The Lanckoronski Collection was one of the richest private galleries in Europe: in Vienna only the Liechtenstein and Harrach Collections could compare with it. Most of the art treasures in the the Lanckoronski collection had been purchased by Count Karol himself, however some 30 paintings he inherited including two magnificent paintings by Rembrandt, came from the gallery of Stanislas Augustus Poniatowski, the King of Poland. From the mid-1880s the collection was housed in the Lanckoronski Palace, Vienna, Jacquingasse 18.
With the outbreak of World War II the Lanckoronski Palace and its fabled art collection was confiscated by Nazi Germany. Many of its art treasures remained in Austria but some were destroyed in storage. The Lanckoronski Palace was bombed in 1945 and looted in the aftermath of the war, ultimately abandoned and demolished in the 1960s. The most valuable pieces were removed to Switzerland after the war and numerous masterpieces were sold mostly in the 1950s. It is not known when the present cabinets left the Lanckoronski collection before being sold in Paris in 1969.
Provenance:
Count Karol Lanckoronski (1848-1933), Palace Lanckoronski, Vienna, Austria.
Thence by descent (according to the paper label) Count Anton Lanckoronski (1893-1965) and Countesses Karoline (1898-2002) and Adelheid Lanckoronski (1903-1980).
Galerie Chateaudun, 55 Rue de Chateaudun, Paris.
Swedish private collection, acquired from the above on September 5 1969.
